Problem
Failing to properly parse, sanitize and encode malicious rich-text content, the content rendering process in the website frontend is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. Corresponding rendering instructions via TypoScript functionality HTMLparser do not consider all potentially malicious HTML tag & attribute combinations per default.
In addition, the lack of comprehensive default node configuration for rich-text fields in the backend user interface fosters this malfunction.
In default scenarios, a valid backend user account is needed to exploit this vulnerability. In case custom plugins used in the website frontend accept and reflect rich-text content submitted by users, no authentication is required.
Solution
Update to TYPO3 versions 7.6.53 ELTS, 8.7.42 ELTS, 9.5.29, 10.4.19, 11.3.2 that fix the problem described above.
Custom package typo3/html-sanitizer - based on allow-lists only - takes care of sanitizing potentially malicious markup. The default behavior is based on safe and commonly used markup - however, this can be extended or restricted further in case it is necessary for individual scenarios.
During the frontend rendering process, sanitization is applied to the default TypoScript path lib.parseFunc, which is implicitly used by the Fluid view-helper instruction f:format.html. Rich-text data persisted using the backend user interface is sanitized as well. Implementation details are explained in corresponding ChangeLog documentation.
